I wonder how Richie is doing these days? The last update to his Go Fund Me page in January didn't mention if he was improving. https://www.gofundme.com/f/coming-together-for-the-great-jazz-pianist-richie-beirach

Ts-find on EMI

Another warm morning. Starting off with “Nelson Angelo E Joyce” on EMI cd. Interesting engineering here! And music as well from this then married couple. 399×400 28.4 KB followed by “LIVE IN CUBA Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis” Blue Engine 2 cd set, disc 1

A good deal of the article was not paywalled so I at least got a glmpse. Zooming over the text, mention of the name of Warren Storm "the drummer" (more known for his La. rockabilly/swamp pop recordings in "our" circles ) caught my attention, so I'll check out the accessible part of the article in more detail later on.

September 23 Norma Winstone - 1941

add 1969/11/2 London, UK - Ronnie Scott's - BBC TV broadcast - I have a 7 minute recording of "Fragments of a Dedication....."

That sounds promising!

Just got my consolidated shipping invoice from deliveredkorea. Shipping cost up about 35% for a similar order from January. On top of that my prepaid tariff and fees = another 30%. will be my last overseas order. Just had to get a few things before they might get crazier.

Wonderful!

Ok thanks!

The Whitney Museum of American Art, February 1969 (before 2/15 but after 2/8, not sure the exact date). Amsterdam, 11/7/69 -- Concertgebouw, it looks like, though my mind was telling me Paradiso... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institut_national_de_l'audiovisuel

What is INA?

Great news! Since Resonance reissued Albert Ayler's Foundation Maeght recording a few years ago, they should have access to Cecil Taylor's tapes too. Andrew Cyrille is in top form here, so I hope they release it while he's still alive. The Great Concert of Cecil Taylor aka Second Act of A is my favorite Cecil Taylor. Recordings from his quartet around that time, as far as I know, are: 1969/2/8 Grinnell College, IA 1969/7/29 Foundation Maeght, France aka “Second Act of A” 1969/11/4 Copenhagen, Denmark (w/ color video!) 1969/11/5 Stockholm, Sweden 1969/11/6 Berlin, Germany 1969/11/9 Rotterdam, Netherlands aka “Cecil Taylor Quartet In Europe” 1969/11/10 Stuttgart, Germany aka “Fragments of a Dedication to Duke Ellington” Are there any others?

Yes!

I love this album.

The samples really are appetizing! A few months ago I considered getting some double CD compilations of the band. Glad I waited.

Yep. Me too!

The Cherry and the McLean are now gone.
